SUPPORT KHMER SCHOLAR

Khmer Scholar is born out of a school project, and is at the moment privately funded by the passionate people who share a vision to enlighten Cambodia through a digital-first, citizen-journalism publication that takes advantage of 21st-century technologies.

As founder and editor-in-chief speaking on behalf of the team behind Khmer Scholar, I hold a firm belief that a publication institution should never be primarily for-profit. If profit is the only motivation, a neutral, reliable and credible publishing voice is unlikely to exist, and I intend to lead Khmer Scholar, steering clear of that profit-motivated direction.

However, for Khmer Scholar to reach its potential at scale, a sufficient fund is required. Advertising is one source of revenue to feed the operation costs, but it can be a double-edged sword. Advertising — if done inappropriately — is ugly and quality-degrading, publication-wise. Khmer Scholar may employ advertising strategies in the long run once we figure out a proper model.

At this point, we commit to private funding, and hopefully any help possible from audience members who love and believe in what we are doing.

To Khmer Scholar, you are part of our grand social mission.

To Cambodian people, you are their role model.

To Cambodia, your are her great asset.

Please let me know if you have questions for me personally. I look forward to talking with you via email at cchap@khmerscholar.com
